A week of COUPONING!

This week has been a very successful week of couponing :) I'm proud to say I've saved so much money! And I'm pretty excited that my stockpile is growing!

I started out going to Publix a couple days ago. They were having some pretty good b1g1 sales, and I had coupons to go with the sales.

Voila b1g1
4.99(x2)
-4.99=4.99
-1.75 mfg coupon=3.24
-1.75 mfg coupon=1.49 for both
or .74 cents each! 

Texas Toast b1g1
2.89(x2)
-2.89=2.89
-.50 mfg coupon=2.39
-.50 mfg coupon=1.89 for both
or .94 cents each!

Little Bites Muffins (my son eats these all the time) b1g1
4.49(x2)
-4.49= 4.49 for both
or 2.24 each! 

Maybelline eye shadow
2.99
-2.00 store coupon=
.99 cents 

My grand total was $10.35 before taxes, I saved $27.36 with sales and coupons! :) 



My next store was Target, I heard that target takes off 7.99 off the b1g1 BIC razors coupons, leaving you with overage, so I had to check that out. Plus I had pull ups coupons that were going to expire soon that I needed to use, and while I was there I found a coupon holder for my shopping trips so I can file them by each store when I'm going out for each haul.
Pull Ups
On sale for 8.99

My next store that day was Dollar Tree. I love this store because everything is a dollar, which means if you have coupons you get a lot for less. I have gained a good amount of Hefty Bags for really cheap!

I wanted to use the rest of my hefty bag coupons, and I was in luck the store stocked up on their bags. I got 10 boxes of 15 ct bags.

Hefty Bags 15 count
1.00(x10)
-1.50 mfg coupon
-1.50 mfg coupon
-1.50 mfg coupon
-1.50 mfg coupon

or .25 cents each!

Total oop= $5.00 // saved $9.00



Today I had plenty of stores to go to, especially because I got some awesome coupons in the mail and I wanted to use them!

I first stopped by dollar tree to get some toothbrushes, I had 10 coupons. They probably thought I was insane. Because the classic Colgate toothbrush pack had 2 in them, I got even more ;)

Colgate Tooth Brushes
1.00(x10) or 10.00
-.75 cents mfg coupon (x10) or 7.50
=2.50 for all 10
or .25 cents each

Colgate Tooth Paste
1.00
-.50 cent mfg coupon
=.50 cents

Red Baron Single Serve Pizza
1.00
-.50 cent mfg coupon
=.50 cents

total oop before tax= $1.75 // saved $10.25

I noticed after I left that the guy took of .75 cents 13 times so that's why my total ended up being so low.


After dollar tree I went to Publix to get some free makeup with my coupons plus store coupons.

So on my shopping trip today alone I got about $87-$88 dollars worth of stuff for about $15 dollars and I only spent about $9 cash (because I had a walmart giftcard)

I think I did pretty darn good ;)

I love couponing :) <3
